Paul and I hit the cyberwaves again tonight with another edition of Smoke Signals, with the guest this week right-hander Frank Herrmann. Herrmann has an interesting story, from going to school and getting a degree at Harvard, to signing as an undrafted free agent, to now being on the cusp of getting a big league opportunity. He is currently participating in the Indians Winter Development Program out at Progressive Field the last two weeks, so will also share some insight into what exactly goes on at the program as well as what 2009 may have in the cards for him.

Call in number for the show is 646-716-8012, and tonight we could really use some phone calls since Paul and I have beaten to death just about everything we can this offseason with the Indians. I am sure Frank would even be open to a phone call or too from the fans. In any case, thank goodness pitchers and catchers reports in about 20 days!

As usual, the show starts at 9:30pm and can be heard live by clicking on the above link, or can also be listened to later off archive at the same link. Also, to subscribe to the show on iTunes, click on this link.

Looks like we will spend all of the first half of the show talking about the farm system and rankings as well as my book. Feel free to call in and talk about the rankings so far or any questions on the whole process. 646-716-8012
